Im having a hard time in school right now...
So I want to go to a university and then work in PR. I want money but you have to have the grades. Im in 2 honors classes this year for 9th grade and I try... I do. I work my butt off every first semester and do the same in the second but my friends and I are always distant first semester.They make me feel like I miss out on a lot which is the truth, but at the same time I'm fine with it. But I feel so pressured to get it all under control and I have zero time at home to relax but when I do I have no time to study or work, or even primp in a mirror!!! What do I do? Can someone please give me advice on how to juggle it all. Sisters and family dillemas arguing with them,studying and working at home fast, and school life? ADVICE PLEAAAAAASE.

I can't help much with the family dramas at home without knowing more about them. The other problems you write about are typical of every teenager. They are time management problems. Time Management is something most all of us have be it with school or work. The sooner we learn how to deal with it the better we are at dealing with it.
In a nutshell what time management is setting aside blocks of time for everything you need and want to do. An example would be daily things such as school work, chores around the house and build in some free time. Then lets say a teacher assigns a project due in three weeks. You have your time management calendar with your blocks of time laid out for the every day and if you were able to you built in some time for extra study or projects like this. If not you have to decide how much time this project is going to take then look at your time management calendar and borrow time for different places to cover the project.
It is actually easier then it sounds. I'm retired now though when I was working and I first started to have to really micro manage my time I had to do it with pencil and paper. Today you can go to places like Best Buy and buy a time management program for your computer. Also go to the library or a good bookstore. There are many good books you can read that will help you use the program you buy. Most of them are very thin and to the point.
The result is you have to manage time rather than have time mange you. Your calendar has to be flexible as well so don't go with writers that advocate rigid calendars. The world is not a rigid place. Things change and you need to be able to change as they do.
Just a side note: It is actually good that you have had this problem come up now. For learning to manage time now will work well for you in college and later in life.
Once I realized that I had to manage my time and not the other way around. My job performance improved and I was sought after by my competitors to come to work for them. I can't explain how satisfying this was. All it took was getting better organized which is what time management really is.
Good luck and write me back if I can be of any more help. Oh, stop arguing with your sisters it is a waste of time. lol.
